new peculiarities were quickly developed
The little animal was discovered to be es-
pecially fitted for burrowing in the rocky
soil which was his chosen home. 1t was
found that the forelegs were furnished
with strong and large muscles, making
each in reality powerful arm. Az tho
extremity of this enormously-developed
member was placed q loot or paw fitted
for its peculiar work with claws both hard
and sharp capable of moving stones OF

REPuDIATED SOUTHERN BONDS.
A Proposition that the United States Sue
tbs Defaultips States

A Proposition that the United States Sue
ths Defaulting States.
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The World says
the United States government holds on
trust for the benefit of Indian tribes
$40, 900 Of bonds issued by the Southern
states, on which default has been made.
About $4,000, 600 of the same defaulted
securities are held by private parties in
this city. L. Andrews, attorney for GER
tain New York holders Of repudiated
bonds, has written to Secretary Lamar,
urging that the United States sue
the defsulting states, claiming that
the United Statee has the pow
er to bring an action against
any one-of the regulating states which
private individuals cannot. Secretary
Lamar has referred the matter to Attor-
ney General Garland. If the United
States should bring the desired suits
and win them, the individual holders of
the bonds would profit along with the
government, which now makes good to
the Indians the interest which these
states refuse to pay.

Vernon, thirty miles distant, though most
OF them have tenants on their sections.
Section 80 is held by Thomas Godfrey
of Great Britain.
Section 126 is held by Mrs. j. B. Jones
of Missouri.
Section 40 was awarded in the early
part OF 1885 to W. B. King of Tarrant,
who endeavored to hold by tenant In
February, 1886, the state land board an
nulled the award to King and awarded 1t
to Morgan Jones. King has now
brought suit in the district court of
Hardeman county against Jones for tres
rass and damages; thus has litigation al
ready commenced.
1t is natural for US to look at things in
q light favorable to our own interests,
and while it is evident to me that all of
the land which l have enumerated, to-
gether with much more in Hardeman
county alone, is held, and much of 1t from
settlement, Illegally. No doubt many of
the claimants take a different view, and
would be willing to part with their claims
only for valuable considerations. Gav-
ing forfeited their claims, the til
ties which they would pass would
be worthless, and hence, the road to
endless litigation. There is no doubt
thai if these frauds (for frauds they are,
whether Intentional or un'ntentional,l

or any other character of corporation
their doom would have been heralded

Texalkana to Ell Paso. "What is sauce

ment, than under the presumption laws,
in terms so plain that the wayfa ing man,
though fool, may not be deceived there

entrance through window of the upper

store this morning il was discovered that
they had taken here and there over the
stock small assortment of clothing
without leaving sign of the robbery, eX-
cept that they left one OF the front doors
open. The merchants of this city, many
of whom have been sufferers from the
gang of thieves, are determined to ferret
out the matter and place the ablest

Pendleton In Favor of Aiding the Drouth
sufferers-A Baptist Found Guilty.
Special to the Gazette.
Bolton, TEX, Jan. 6.-Hon. George
Pendleton took his departure for Austin
to-day. Mr.. Pendleton expressed him
self in favor of the state extending aid to
the drouth sufferers, provided the 1egis-
lature found their condition was as bad
as reported. His idea is not to give the
aid in the shape of donation from the
state, but as loan; to pass bill author
izing each county to issue bonds to raise
funds for the support of the destitute
within its own border, the state giving
such assurance of the payment of the
bonds as would cause them to sell
at par, in fact to pass an
act authorizing each county to borrow
money for the relief of its own sufferers,
with the state of Texas as security.
Further aid should be given by deferring
the payment of taxes in that district, SO
as to enable the people to make another
crop, or other crops, if necessary, before
the payment.
The city fire department went on a
strike this morning, and turned over their
trucks and hose carriages to the city
authorities. The cause of the trouble
seems to be that for some time the fire
companies have been requesting the

alarm, which requests have been refused.
The companies agreed not to disband till
after the meeting of the council on next
Wednesday, when the matter will be con-
sidered.
